Description
BOYCE F. MARTIN, JR., Circuit Judge. A jury convicted Norman Meyers of distribution of cocaine and possession of a firearm by a felon under 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), respectively. The district court sentenced Meyers to fourteen years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a special assessment of $200.00. On appeal, Meyers argues that the trial court abused its discretion in admitting, for the purposes of impeachment, evidence of a 1984 conviction for armed robbery. Meyers alleges that the Government deprived him of a fair trial by using inflammatory language during its opening and closing statements; that the government failed to follow the procedural requirements of 21 U.S.C. § 851(a)(1) by not filing an information with the court detailing which prior convictions were being relied upon to enhance his sentence; and that the district court abused its discretion in deciding not to grant a downward departure under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines for Meyers' Section 5K2.12 duress defense. For the following reasons, we affirm.
